Rahul slams BJP’s double engine govts in various states
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday dubbed the BJP ‘Bhrast Janata Party’ and claimed that its double-engine governments in various states have ruined the lives of the people through corruption, abuse of power and the poison of arrogance.
Gandhi cited the murder of Ankita Bhandari in Uttarakhand, the Unnao rape case in Uttar Pradesh, and deaths from drinking contaminated water in Indore, among others, to attack the BJP.
“Across the country, the ‘Bhrasht’ Janata Party’s double-engine governments have ruined the lives of the people. Corruption, abuse of power, and the poison of arrogance have spread throughout the BJP’s politics, from top to bottom,” the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said in a post in Hindi.
“In their system, the lives of the poor, the helpless, labourers, and the middle class are merely statistics, and a system of extortion is operating in the name of development,” Gandhi alleged.
“The brutal murder of Ankita Bhandari in Uttarakhand shook the entire nation, but the question remains: which BJP VIP is being protected by those in power? When will the law be equal for all?” he said.
In the Unnao case in Uttar Pradesh, the entire country witnessed how criminals were protected due to the arrogance of power, and how much the victim had to pay for justice, Gandhi said.
Whether it's deaths from drinking contaminated water in Indore or complaints of contaminated water and polluted supply from Gujarat, Haryana, and Delhi, the fear of disease is everywhere, he claimed.
